Since BPAM now supports read access to HFS directories (barring

What about write access?
That gets back to the question about what one really means by member
protection, I think.
Many times when I've heard the question it really has meant a desire to
control who can update which members. If all the readers of the PDS
support the simulation of a PDS by a UNIX directory, then you could
(perhaps) simply tell all the updaters that they needed to update UNIX
files rather than updating a PDS directory.
I can envision a lot of cases that would not handle, of course.
